We understand that you are facing a challenging situation with your neighbors, Komlar, and we are here to support you in prayer and to provide biblical guidance. First, let us address your request for peace of mind and a joyful home.
Let's consider how the scriptures tell us how to deal with our enemies.
Yes, we can call your neighbors enemies because that is what they are.
Please pray this prayer with us:
Matthew 5:44 WEB
But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you
We need to love our enemies just like we love our friends.
Deuteronomy 5:32 WEB You shall observe to do therefore as Yahweh your God has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
We all are tempted to return evil for evil to those who have wronged us. Unfortunately, we must remember that we are following Christ. Christ would not return evil. Let's take a look at what our Christ would do.
1 Peter 2:23 WEB
Throughout the entire process, he was insulted and threatened continually, but he did not retaliate. Instead, he kept entrusting himself to the One who judges fairly
If you can not love your enemy you need to ask God to help. This is what the scripture says. You are blessed when you do not return the evil that has been done to you and continue to pray for your enemies. Romans 12:14 WEB,
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse
Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your intervention in Komlar's situation. You see the disrespect and rudeness of their neighbors, and You know the stress and pain it has caused over the past three years. We pray for Your peace, and that is beyond all understanding and it will guard their hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 WEB
Please fill their home with Your joy and help them to rest in Your love. The disrespect and rudeness of their neighbors have been difficult to endure. Help them love and respect those who are being disrespectful towards them. We ask that You work in the hearts of their neighbors, convicting them of their actions and drawing them to You and showing them their wrongs.
Remind Komlar and their husband that, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Their fight is not against their neighbors but what has ahold of their neighbors. Make the righteousness of Komlar's household a light that shines upon the neighbors so that they may see God working in Komlar's life. Thank you, Jesus, for hearing our prayer and intervening in this situation. All honor and glory to you.
Praise you Jesus.
We ask them to meditate on the following words and make it a part of their every thought and life.
Romans 12:17-21 WEB
17) 'Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
18) If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
19) Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."
20) Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head."
21) Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.'
We encourage Komlar and their husband to continue praying, you can see that it is a basic and vital part of our Christian life to live with and communicate with God. Use these scriptures in your prayers. Diligently pray for your neighbors until they have changed their ways.
Be honest with yourself. Is there anything your neighbor could have against you? If you feel that there is, then go ask for forgiveness.
Your fight is not against your neighbors but spiritual powers. Use the power of prayer as an offensive weapon.
